These explicit advertisements continue to appear, not only on cooking websites and gaming strategy pages, but even on tablets distributed at schools. People are voicing concern and anger, asking how long the government is planning to leave this problem unattended.

Yup, I'm getting them. I can be embarrassing if you're on a crowded train and someone catches a glimpse.

'Protecting the children' is the justification for state control of the internet and ID grabs via age checks. All governments are doing it. If you can't ban something without losing votes and looking like China, spread moral panic and then regulate it to death.

The internet we will have will be a pale shadow of the one that we have enjoyed, and the ability to innovate and generate growth will be suffocated. Anything run or controlled by (any) government is typically run badly.

Tech has underpinned global growth for decades. The Empire is now striking back. This will make every aspect of life much more expensive. Unless you are properly rich, you are going to be a lot poorer in the future.

I hate these, they're all over Japanese internet. They're not just saucy poses, they're really explicit. I personally don't think adult material should be blanket-ban censored, but it should only be there if you're actually looking for it.

Back in the old days, all a kid needed to do was to pass by a combini or a small book store near a train station, and you can see all the explicit mangas within their reach! Japan will never get rid of them. It's culture!

I thought I was the only one getting these. These are super annoying, especially if they use those explicit sounds and you have your speaker on. I constantly try to block and report them but to no avail...

Make the companies selling the advertising responsible with heavy fines for each reported incident, that will control the problem in no time. The only thing that perpetuates explicit advertisement is that there is no serious consequences for google, apple, etc. so there is no incentive in actually controlling the content of the ads.

"Make the companies selling the advertising responsible with heavy fines for each reported incident, that will control the problem in no time"

Exactly!

I would guess that these "companies" are about as real as the companies in the fake ads in Facebook.

In your example Facebook (Meta) is the one that should pay heavy fines for each single report. After all that is the company that is selling the space for advertising. Google, Apple, etc. are other examples.

As long as you make these companies lose much more money than what they make by allowing anything in their platforms then the problem will be solved.

What kind of ads? I haven't seen any of them. I suppose if you watch porn, they're more likely to show up!

Funny...today was the first time they appeared on my ...wifes...computer.

And all I wanted was "best rock songs from the 80,s "

Is nothing sacred !!!!!!!

I don't get of of those from the sites I visit

I agree,these ads are everywhere,if one doesn't use adblockers.

However, they're still putting jazz magazines on full view in many conbinis and bookstores,so it's all relative.

ADBLOCK, USE IT, LOVE IT. Don't consume ads, period. I don't want to see ads about anything. It's all offensive.

Yes AdBlock and their ilk are very useful. Sadly, I cannot install anything on my school’s laptops, as they are “controlled by your organization.” My students have seen them already. They easily get through whatever security the schools use. And i most certainly do not watch porn. Can’t even access Amazon or YT at work, never mind porn.

And I should’ve added that I cannot access THIS site while at work…..it’s flagged as “entertainment”…… so can’t access Amazon, JT, YT and many others, but plenty of explicit ads get displayed on other news sites. How are they getting through when it’s obvious porn can’t be accessed at work either?
